Ankor Jael is Minister of Education and Propaganda and a trusted friend and advisor to Mallow. When Mallow discusses his plans to secure a council seat with Jael, Jael warns Mallow that he might face prejudice due to his Smyrnian heritage and his rejection of ideological control in favor of focusing on trade and economic control. After Mallow clashes with Sutt over Mallow's opposition to religious influence in trade, with Sutt (inaccurately) accusing Mallow of abandoning a Foundation priest to death, Jael advises Mallow to be careful. According to Jael, Sutt isn't actually interested in charging Mallow with a crime: in fact, he is scheming to exploit the planet's religious orthodoxy in order to increase his own hold on power at the expense of Mallow's reputation. Mallow ultimately rejects Jael's advice, however, and in the end he clears his name and becomes Mayor of Terminus.
